OffshoreCorpTalk scam exposed: from CClogic front to fake forum accounts

JohnnyDoe said:

He pretends to have bought the forum from CCLogic and rebranded it:

regarding this...
I wrote in the post above (#38) that there was a "Peter Bang" guy promoting in ~2009 the old CClogic forum in various websites, presenting himself as owner/admin/manager and i've posted the links...

they said it was sold in 2016 iirc... so that peter bang shouldn't be there anymore, right?

History
The OffshoreCorpTalk forum can trace its history back to 2009 when it was set up under the domain name of CClogic. It was initially intended to be used as a support platform for CClogic’s client base of customers looking to set up an offshore company. For a number of reasons, CClogic took the decision to close down the site in 2014.

Sensing the demand for a dedicated platform for offshore matters, industry expert Brian Larsson acquired the rights to the site for a nominal fee 🤣

guess who wrote all these medium articles in 2020/21 promoting offshorecorptalk forum again?
palladiumnick.medium.com/

hint 🤣 :

so we have a Peter Bang from CCLogic days:
cy.linkedin.com/in/peter-bang-248bb115

and a Peter Bang from OCT:
linkedin.com/in/peter-bang-2a82a31b8/en-us

but yeah.. it changed ownership for sure! 🤣

wait wait wait...
WTF is this nonsensical thread below from @bizman from 2009????
johnnydoe.is/threads/warning-the-best-laugh-…mputer.2700/

Summary:

The below was the result of a website I declined to be submitted to one of our web directories.
Really funny, I was bored, so thought I would reply to his ridicules e-mail and have some fun on this bored Sunday, hope you all enjoy as well 😀
Here we start: The automatic reply he/she or both at once got:
We are sorry! We could not approve your link Alan Tollemache in the directory. Please read our submission guidelines or resubmit your site later.
In 99% of all rejected links, it is because the website or url you submitted is not a FORUM.

his reply: Its fine. I have hacked your site. My link will appear there whether you like it or not.

My reply: If you have hacked it, show me where your site is and I will feature your link later on”¦ You must be a Big man with a small d.... as I see it?

His reply:Hey Peter, "Bang" ... how is mrs. Bang? I banged her v... ... not your wife... she is ugly... but your mother.

@ bizman talking about Peter Bang and it goes dirtier and dirtier if you open the original tread above
😭😭😭😭😭
too much internet for today! F* that forum really!

View on Giphy

it keeps giving... I thought the avatar image was fake...
truth is that the peter bang image he has on medium, OCT linkedin accounts/socials etc is stolen from an existing guy from Romania, local politician and entrepreneur

rocketreach.co/marian-rosca-email_116567078

yep it's a real guy
even has a fb page Consilier Rosca Marian Dragasani

What if this romanian guy get to know someone is using his face to promote his shady business?
add it to the list of his offenses 🤣

@marioIT you are doing forensics and corp investigation and don't wanna be banned mate 😂 breath well.

I just posted what's available online... publicly accessible.
I'm not spamming his forum or directly destroying it... I am just commenting some clear evidence.

Anyway I'll stop here and won't go deeper than this, as:

• I've seen and commented enough so that newbies will understand what it really is (@JohnnyDoe already did a good job exposing it, I just connected the dots)
• I don't have a direct war against the guy
• I'm just happy he didn't put the 🍆 in me... and that's a big relief on its own... if he did, then things would be different...
• I wasn't banned, unlike Johnny
• ultimately I have better things to do :-)

I am not stupid to harm other people, while not deriving a gain for myself... I am a guest here as much as on OCT. And since I've got not skin in the game, good luck to him.
I satisfied my curiosity and put myself in a safer position by knowing what that forum really is and how it operates.
When you do that kind of businesses for that long and to so many people, sooner or later your sins will find you out.

If he bans me, then fine... it's his forum not mine... I will survive without it! as I said I have zero need these days for basic offshore tricks, I am already in a safer position.
I just hope he will contact me to talk about it before the ban. Ultimately I don't care about the forum and don't even need his paid services.
I care about the few good (non MG) guys that are still there and randomly post good interesting info.
But since I've read here that @JohnLocke even read private messages etc... my trust for that forum is less than my local b1tch, there is no way I am going ever to post anything worthy there :)

I just kidding with you mate, but we are living in a world where :

• telling the truth is forbidden.
• if you are not with us, you are against us.

I think I've found our guy's name associated to multiple uk companies (afaik never mentioned here) that supposedly ran financial scams online in pre-2010 times 🤣
It's a list made by a non-profit organization that helped victims of online fraud/scams in those years, and his name is there correlated to a few financial companies...
it's the same period of the companies I already posted in post #13 , but these are other uk ltds.
at the time there was no PSC register, so they are not in his name, but nominees. Not sure if he just worked there or ran the whole thing, but had email addresses like manager@company.com
of course it's just someone with the same danish name not him.... 🤣

btw he's on the same list with "nigerian prince" scammers, maybe he was just starting there 🤣

also he's so smart to list himself as CEO & Founder of dissolved "anonymous" financial ltd companies on linkedin...
and found the old danish address in a business page kind of website, he ran many companies through the years...
(he dissolved and started fresh every few years),
the reviews for those addresses/companies were all like "SCAM ARTIST!!!" 🤣

also someone already investigated CCLogic 15 years ago (in 2010), it adds some more detailed info:
quatloos.com/Q-Forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5872

the post above from 2010 says there was another company related to cclogic:

I am one of many who have been conned by the cclogic.com scam . They advertise offshore companies and offshore bank accounts which we paid for but never received anything.
there are many people that they have scammed. They said in around March this year that they had sold over 400 offshore companies in the previous month.
(Probably an exaggeration but the at an average of 2000 Euros each they have scammed a lot of money)

As to cnpeurope.com, it looks as though cclogic.com is setting up another company to carry on the scam.

let's go to web archive then:
web.archive.org/web/20080407014412/http://www.cnpeurope.com/

if you look the signature in the web-archived page, it says Webdesign & Development by a danish company...
go look the danish company registry for that name and guess who owned it?
the same danish guy that owns it all 🤣

now... there could be more to it, as the address used in cyprus will point you to paradise papers...
and if you dig down the nominee company/secretary setup there (now dissolved) may find other interesting things,
but that's for another day!

Considering his questionable morals and the creation and closure of numerous companies I'm not surprised he came under scrutiny from the (Danish) tax authorities which he mentioned earlier this year lol. I wonder what that case actually was about lol. Very, very impressive work by the way @marioIT.

(sorry about formatting but it's a PITA to correctly use embed tags on every single post of this guy, it's quicker to quote and past the link)

yeah if you study @EliasIT and @JohnLocke posts you'll find the whole story, just put together some of his posts here with links to the original pages:

EliasIT said:

1) I am a danish citizen

2) If you read some of my threads, you’ll see that I’ve been (and still am) in serious conflict with the Danish tax authorities. They’ve been fabricating stories around a 100% legitimate business involving crypto payments.

3) But your situation sounds a lot like mine about five years ago, when all hell broke loose in Denmark. It started with the banks asking questions, so we brought in an accountant and a tax lawyer. Everything was fine… until the Danish Tax Agency decided that what we were doing was highly illegal. That kicked off a five year tax case, which we finally won a few months ago, but, wow, what a ride.

4) German tax office want 20K euro from last year in Germany, can I avoid it?:
I lived in Germany last year for 1 year and have now moved to Switzerland in the meantime. Now the German tax authorities are demanding 20K euros in taxes - can they reach me in Switzerland or can I just ignore it if I don't go back there again? And when I deregistered, I stated that I had moved to Portugal.

I just got the real letter (only saw a snip) the amount is 80K owed to Denmark who now tries to collect the amount through Germany the tax depth is originated from Denmark and not Germany.

he (@EliasIT ) said he won the danish tax case... then moved to Germany and Switzerland... and the danish tax agency is still trying to collect €80k though Germany, but now he moved to Switzerland and when he deregistered from Germany he lied stating he moved to Portugal... sure, he won the case, sure! trust him 🤣

then also @JohnLocke said he has troubles with danish tax agency:
johnnydoe.is/threads/how-to-get-paypal-state…#post-279273
and then here:
johnnydoe.is/threads/who-are-the-most-aggres…#post-253296
says "Currently, a close acquaintance of mine is embroiled in a challenging situation with this authority (The Danish Tax Authority, SKAT), facing daunting prospects" :D

then if you filter for "SKAT" (the danish tax agency) you'll find plenty of threads by the fake accounts about denmark e.g. @SysOp , @EliasIT , @JohnLocke

then there's this guy here @fighthorse

that has a VERY SIMILAR STORY to @JohnLocke and @EliasIT , almost word for word:

you can check my posts/threads about my tax scandal in Denmark, and I'm not the only one here on the forum with similar experiences
I've been dealing with Skat for the past four years, and they never give up. Legal and accounting costs have already reached around €125K, and we're nowhere near finished!
As soon as they see what you've done, they'll start piecing together a story to charge you with money laundering, tax evasion, and possibly even seek to imprison you on the grounds of suspected flight risk

johnnydoe.is/threads/strategic-setup-of-bank…/post-306365

and if you check his posts
you'll find him most active in denmark threads and mentor group discounts, with some random multiple copy-paste posts
johnnydoe.is/threads/black-friday-sale-2024-…#post-344839

If you plan to do business here on OCT or intend to stick around long-term, a Lifetime Membership at this price is the only right choice. With a massive 50% discount, it’s definitely worth jumping on this deal now!

and @JohnLocke answers:

Thank you for your support and lifetime upgrade, much appreciated.

and adds:

OCT has been a lifesaver for me

and after a while this guy too is interested about switzerland around the same time of @EliasIT

I am currently working with a lawyer in Switzerland on this kind of setup. From our discussions and the information I've received, it's not as secure a solution as you might expect, OP. The setup I'm discussing costs around 17K CHF with the lawyer, and the final cost depends on the level of activity involved.

johnnydoe.is/threads/is-the-swiss-foundation…#post-294086

but the best post has yet to come...
The guy has just joined the forum (3 days old account) and already promoting mentor group and already has lifetime...
(must check the original OCT forum theads, remember that here the MG badges don't show up)
just pasting a screen from OCT to see he's MG lifetime:

and the post goes like this:
if they are scammers (talking about other companies of course not OCT or CClogic): just leave them alone, the answer is joining mentor group, of course! 🤣
johnnydoe.is/threads/vcc-is-rebranded-to-exo…#post-287514

all these guys have the same problems, same countries, same arguments, same mentor group fetish as soon as they join, they all started from denmark and they all end up in Switzerland...
@JohnnyDoe , another fake user this @fighthorse ? 🤣

also his post count here is 84, on OCT is down to 62. @JohnLocke has already started scrubbing compromising posts there?
so much for truth, honesty, fact checking or how he called... micro propaganda!

So Offshorecorptalk is not just a scam forum, but an integral part of the 20-years long multi faceted criminal career of JohnLocke. Understandably the Danish tax authorities are after him. What about UK HMRC?

I can't even open that forum anymore...
I got OCTDS: OffshoreCorpTalk Derangement Syndrome
I get triggered as soon as I open a thread there...
it starts with the AI avatars and his fake MG aliases bumping old posts like "hey, so you did it? how is going now?"

Once seen you can't unsee it, can't even open a thread and scroll slightly as there's another fake user right below liking stupid posts saying stupid stuff 🤦

I mean he's liking and talking to himself :
he throws a stupid post there in the open, puts a like on it with the other fake alias, then obliviously ask a stupid question to a stupid post instead of arguing it...
he's bumping all the dead threads this way lately...

Once you've seen it, you can't ignore it, and that's the sad part about this all. Especially sad because basically this forum had so much potential. If you think about it, it's such a great concept. Of course, thankfully there is now this forum that still needs to get going, but previously there was no other large-scale place where you could discuss such matters. And yes, I'm a bit nostalgic, because things had been going reasonably well for a few years. Perhaps even with the common good being considered. Until the scrounging for even more money began. It's certainly difficult to suppress criminal tendencies that have been manifesting for decades.

The only reason I still visit the site (besides the bizarre plot twists) is because there's still some interesting information to be found about certain EMIs or countries. But in a few years that too will be irrelevant, and I predict both revenue and traffic for OcT drying up as well.

Real-life experiences from users on the ground ended up being suppressed because they did not yield any profit for John Locke. And now that only a hollow frame of the website remains even the quality of the advertisers has also become deplorable. Like OVZA hijacking threads with AI-generated texts, recommending a Belize setup (completely unusable, of course).

What's also absolutely cringeworthy is when you look back at some really useful threads and see John Locke interrupting the conversation with his AI-generated profiles and asking completely random and irrelevant questions inbetween. And coincidentally, he also refers to the "Mentor Gold Group." all the time. In hindsight I don't know how I didn't see this right away. Sorry, but I really have to get it off my chest and say what a sad man this is.
